Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 142 – Escaping the “Honeymoon”
Emma’s POVMy heart was pounding so fast I was convinced it was trying to break free from my chest and sprint back to the airport.Because there he was. Lucas Ardent.Stretched out like a sinfully comfortable panther across the honeymoon bed.He patted the space beside him like this was normal.“Come on,” he said, voice lazy and dangerous. “Join me. This bed is fantastic.”I stared at him like he’d spontaneously grown horns. “No.”He grinned. “Don’t think I arranged this, by the way. I didn’t.”“I don’t care,” I snapped.“I think,” he continued, undeterred, “we’re just destined to be together. Know what I mean?”I glared at him. “No. I don’t know what you mean. And I don’t want to know.”He laughed in amusement. “Ugh,” I muttered. I needed distance. Space. Air. Maybe a different dimension.I yanked my luggage upright, unzipped it, and grabbed the first dress I saw. No idea what color, style, or fabric—just that it was not pajamas and not lingerie and therefore acceptable for my Surv
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 141 – A Foolish Hope
Natalie’s POVI stood frozen beside him, hands clasped tightly in front of me. I didn’t trust myself to move. Didn’t trust myself not to.His voice—usually smooth, confident—softened into something almost unrecognizable.“He… uh…wrote this too…” Brandon exhaled, blinking hard before reading from the letter to share with me. “‘I just wanted to give fate a little nudge. I didn’t want to force anything on either of you. But I saw what you didn’t.’”He paused, swallowing.“‘Two stubborn, lonely people who might find something beautiful together—if given the chance.’”My heart constricted, and my eyes filled with tears. But I blinked them away. Brandon kept reading, voice growing quieter.“‘I worried I wouldn’t have long left, so I acted sooner than I should have. I hoped… I prayed… something would bloom between the two of you.’”Oh, Grandpa York. A thousand emotions collided inside me—shock, guilt, grief, longing. But I forced my expression flat, composed. I couldn’t let anything show.
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 140 – A Favor of Love
Natalie’s POVHe looked wrecked.Not dramatic, not loud—just silently, devastatingly undone. Like something inside him had been struck with a hammer, and he was sitting there trying to keep the pieces from spilling everywhere.And the worst part?I seemed to feel it too. Every ounce of that hurt echoed in my own chest.I stood there frozen, not sure what to do. Every instinct told me to go to him, touch his shoulder, hold him—something—but I stayed where I was, hands useless at my sides.He turned a page of the album slowly, like each photograph was a punch he wasn’t ready for.Moments of him growing up. Moments someone had cared enough to collect, organize, protect.Moments his grandfather watched from a distance.His throat bobbed. He shut the album gently, palms lingering on the cover like it was something sacred. Then he sank down onto the couch and kept quiet for several minutes. I just let him be. Finally, he exhaled—quiet, shaky—and reached for the sealed envelope that was in
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 139 – A Loving Grandfather
Brandon’s POVNatalie looked like she’d seen a ghost.Which was ironic, considering whose house we’d just walked into.Her face was pale, her shoulders stiff, and even the way she held her bag—tight to her chest—made something uneasy twist inside me.“You okay?” I asked quietly.She startled. Like she’d forgotten I was standing right beside her.“Y-yes,” she said too fast. “I’m just… tired.” Then she had the nerve to glare at me. “And have you forgotten that you dragged me here against my will?”I didn’t know how to answer that, so I just said, “Right. Sorry about that.” She glanced around the foyer—high ceilings, polished floors, the old portrait gallery on the left. The place was barely touched since Grandfather died. Frozen in time… and still somehow heavy with him.“It’s… beautiful here,” she said softly, almost reverently. “Really beautiful.”I watched her fingertips graze the carved bannister, watched her try to distract herself with anything that wasn’t me. “It is,” I agreed.
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 138 – Welcome to Paradise
Emma’s POVThe resort pier looked like something out of a travel magazine—white sand, turquoise water, palm trees waving like they had zero problems in life. Meanwhile, I had a clipboard, two damp shoes from the boat spray, and a mild desire to lie down on the dock and sleep for ten years.Instead, I put on my best professional smile.A tall man in a sea-blue polo approached us with a warm, practiced grin.“Welcome to Azure Pearl Resort!” he announced. “I’m Jeremiah, your guest relations manager. Ms. Emma of Wanderlux Travel Agency?”I stepped forward. “Yes. Great to meet you.”“Likewise. We’ll take excellent care of your group.” Then he glanced at Lucas, who hovered beside me like a possessive shadow. “Is this your… colleague?”Lucas answered before I could. “I’m Lucas Ardent.”Jeremiah blinked. “Oh—Ardent Real Estate?”Lucas smirked. “The very one.”I rolled my eyes internally. Men.Jeremiah’s posture straightened so fast I thought he’d pulled a muscle.“Oh—oh! Mr. Ardent.”His smil
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 137 – The House That Knows Too Much
Natalie’s POVOf all days— of all damn days— why does my car have to break down today?!I slammed the hood shut harder than necessary, exhaling through my teeth. I could feel Brandon approaching before I even heard him.“Natalie,” he said, annoyingly calm, “come on. Let’s go.”“No.” I grabbed my bag, brushing past him. “I’ll just book a cab.”“It’s rush hour.”“I don’t care.”“I do.”I turned sharply. “Brandon, I said I’ll take a cab.”“And I said you’re riding with me to the office.”I scoffed. “You can’t just—order me into your car.”“Watch me.”My jaw clenched so hard it almost cracked. I unlocked my phone, opened the ride-hailing app, and—High demand. No available cars.Perfect.I tried again. Nothing.Brandon sighed like he had predicted every second of this.“Natalie,” he said, stepping closer, “stop being stubborn.”“Says the king of stubborn.”His lips twitched. “I’m not letting you stand here for thirty minutes waiting for a car that won’t come.”“I can walk to the main road
